"Day at the Beach" Mixed Media Layout With Amy Voorthuis

  Hi lovely creative peeps, 
For today I hope I inspire you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chipboard and have some fun. I sure did that while making this beach layout with a photo from last June of Abbey & me at the beach. Oh and when I was making this post I was astonished on how much chippies I used didn't even realised it. Enjoy my post...

Most of the chippies I gessod first just one layer this time, and some of them I left in their raw state and only used some wax on them. I coloured the seagulls with my posca pens I used grey, black, orange & yellow.

I love to paint my phrases in different colors it gives it a fun effect. I coloured all the seaweeds I used on my layout with different acrylic paint in a matte tone. On the fishing net bits I added some rust paste but only the brown color . This was a really fun layout to create it only took me like more then six hours...

Hope you all enjoyed my post thank you so much for stopping by, I will be back with another project hope to see you back then....

'Summer Lovin' with Lisa Amiet

 Hello all!
It's Lisa here on the blog today to share some
2Crafty inspiration with you. 

Summer Lovin'

2Crafty products used:
Intricate Seahorses
Seashells Set 2
Fishing Net Bits
Seawood Set 1 & 2

For this layout, I have used quite a few of the sea-themed pieces and sets,

including the seaweed from the 'Seaweed Set 2', 

that I have finished with orange watercolour paints. 

To get the bright vibrant colours from my watercolour paints,

I first sponge two coats of gesso onto my chipboard.

Here I have used one of the seashells from the 'Seashells Set 2', again finished in orange.

I have also given a blue watercolour finish to another of the pieces from the 'Seaweed Set 2',

I start by layering the different blues from lightest to darkest. 

I have then used some of the 'Fishing Net Bits',

that I have used brown watercolours to finish.

I layered this with my photo and one of the pieces from the 'Seaweed Set 1',

 and a starfish from the 'Seashells Set 2'. 

To finish I have used one of the 'Intricate Seahorses',

that I have again finished with watercolours, in yellows and oranges.

I really like how this layout turned out, 

I wanted to keep my chipboard having the 

watercolour vibes of my papers and I think it worked well. 

I hope that you like what I have created and 

I will see you soon with some more inspiration!

Until next time!
